UNIVERSITY OP GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, ItMM
Number 3
Research Complex
Bids Set to Open
By PERRY SULLIVAN, JR.
Tender frozen poultry, a peanut-flour birthday cake, de
hydrated Georgia chicken, and mountain-pure water—just
down the stream from the factory—may soon be realities.
They are linked to development of the University’s Re
search Park.
Two vital elements of the park will reach milestones of
development within the next six to nine months.
Bids on the $2.5 million southeastern water pollution
laboratory and research center are due to he opened July
2J. Early in 1965, bids are to he opened and construction
started soon thereafter on the southeastern utilization lab
oratory, worth $9.5 million.
These two developments are linked within the park to
the forestry laboratory. University poultry disease labora
tory, and the southern poultry disease laboratorv. To
gether they will serve to the distinct advantage of the
College of Agriculture, according to George II. King, di
rector of Agricultural Experiment Stations of the Univer
sity.
The wide range effects of these installations are
broader than just the College of Agriculture,” King said.
“When these new units become operable, they will bring
the total of professional scientists working attendant to
the campus to more than 1,000, with an equal number of
technicians and clerical assistants,” he said.
Currently, there are 227 professional state scientists em
ployed at the University, with 116 additional emploved
by the federal government. This represents 281 higher'de-
grees, 174 doctors of philosophy and 107 at master’s level.
To this will be added the six hundred scientists who will
be at work in the utilization laboratory.
All of these scientists will be granted honorary faculty
status. Tn turn, they will be available to give special lec
tures to University students. Likewise, these scientists will
be^ able to pursue graduate programs here,” King said.
Il goes without saying that the College of Agriculture
now has a distinct advantage over other similar institu
tions because of the mere proximity of these facilities.
“But, the entire University will benefit. Of course, our
new library and our new science center have been attrac
tions for government and industry to locate here.
“This research park is a dream of our president, Dr. 0.
C. Aderhold. Tt is open to state and federal government,
utilizations, and to private industry. The University will
donate land to industry or government when they agree to
locate here. The Athens Industrial Development Corpora
tion, a non-profit group, has sites available for privately-
owned research groups.

New Dean
Assumes
Law Duties
Lindsley Cowen, recently ap
pointed dean of the Lumpkin
School of Law, has arrived to
assume his duties at the Uni
versity. He is succeeding Dean
J. A. Hosch, who retired after
29 years of service.
Dean Cowen was previously
assistant dean of the Univer
sity of Virginia law school,
where he received his B. A. in
1942 and his Ll.B. in 1947. In
1958 and 1959, Dean Cowen
began working toward his doc
torate at Harvard University.
He plans to complete this
work in the near future.
Cowen and his family are re
siding at 362 Cloverhurst
avenue, where they will make
their home permanently. The
Cowens have five children— I
three girls and two boys, ages
ranging from 13 to three. The
two youngest children accom-
pained their parents while the
three oldest are spending a
month with their grandmother
in Virginia.
Dean Cowen expresses plea
sure at being with the Univer
sity. “It is quite obvious this
is an alive and growing school;
I am most happy to be here.”
For the first time this year
the Law School recognized its
first honor graduate. Donald
Dadson Rentz received the M ‘ ,r * hal1 service.
New Heads

Graduates
New officers of the Univer
sity of Georgia Alumni Society
began their terms July 1. The
1964 term, which normally
would expire on Dec. 31, 1964,

Fate Finds
Fall Guy
For Fourth
Fate reared ils angry head
at University students only
once over the Fourth of
July weekend.
No word reached the Uni
versity of injuries resulting
from car crashes, in spite of
the fact that the campus
was all but deserted as stu
dents took to the roads.
The only accident record
ed was a minor injury when
a male student found that
the rocks on which he was
climbing were too slippery.
Naturally, this was discover
ed too lute, and the law of
gravity took over.
But even then, the guid
ing hand of Providence
buoyed him up as though it
were predestined that no
student be injured over the
weekend.
Rut alas, the buoying
cushion which saved the
slipshod scaler turned out
to be another Bulldog.
This hapless fellow got the
cold shoulder from llume
Fate, plus a hard elbow in
the eye.
Now our unidentified
friend might rest in the dis
tinction that he was the
only reported Fourth of
July casualty among Univer
sity students in 1964.

State Housing Gets Eye
